ASRock 4Core1600 P35 WiFi+ S775 Motherboard Review

ASRock is stepping up the process of product introduction. 4Core 1600 P35 WiFi+ with overclocking features including DDR2/DDR3 surprises a few of us. Full featured with Firewire, Cross-Fire, WiFi and the traditional parallel port and eSATA, and the support of the upcoming to Intel Penryn, and Wolfdale.

Closer Look

Closer Look:

ASRock always maintains their products fully supporting the main-stream users. Allow me to clarify this; it has parallel port for old printers, PS2 ports for mouse & keyboard and even a com-port in addition to USB, Fire-Wire and eSATA. This kind of support is welcome to office IT, "home-makers" who try to make ends meet and the more matured group having to use PC at its much earlier stage; no pun intended for the young audience who might have no use of a printer or any device that requires the use of a COM/Parallel-port. :)

However, don't be discouraged for a moment, as what you are about to see is something different from ARSock this time.

Two pairs of DDR2 and one pair of DDR3 memory slots

Everything is here for both the traditional, office and home users; extra for gamers.

24-pin main + 6-pin CPU power the first in ASRock board

WiFi board - to be attached to onboard header

Cross-Fire PCIe

ASRock is still lack behind others in the use of jumpers for memory divider

There is one jumper setting missing for FSB800 CPU, which I will explain later.
